Delaney: Opponents of TPP Contributed to Current Trump Trade Troubles

“American workers, farmers, and entrepreneurs are being hurt by President Trump’s trade war. But here’s the hard truth about the trade fight with China: Trump isn’t the only one to blame. Everyone on the far left and the far right who undermined President Obama and the US involvement in the Trans-Pacific Partnership is to blame. By enabling Trumponomics, they had us walk away from new markets and from a huge leverage point. We could have set the terms in the region with TPP. Now we’re playing catchup. It’s another lesson – when you put politics over the facts, the country suffers.”
